Abstract:
The article presents an approach about the resocialization of the prisoner in the
reality of the Brazilian penitentiary system, in the light of Law nº 7.210/84, which
instituted the Penal Execution Law. The objective was to identify the effects arising
from the challenges of the prison system in developing re-socializing measures, with
a view to reintegrating the convict into society. The deductive method was used,
through bibliographical research. The sources used were books, periodicals and
publications available in databases (internet). The results showed that the low supply
of vacancies in the prisons, added to the overcrowding and the inadequate
preparation of the prison agents, are justifiable reasons for the public policies
adopted in the resocialization process not to reach the desired results. The
conclusion reports to the understanding that the inapplicability of efficient public
policies and the negligence in the operationalization of legal provisions, compromise
the effectiveness of the prisoner's resocialization.
